netcell sata controller

[Rhomel Chinsio]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a cheap but reliable sata controller since my SIL3512 is
causing problems. It looks like some NetCell cards are selling cheap ( 32
USD for a 5 port version) since NetCell went out of business.

Any opinions on the reliability of this chip?

Also I don't really care about hardware raid so I don't mind if the raid
features are not supported.
